Given:

The equation at hand is:

$y=5x$

In this context, x represents the total tickets sold for the school play, while y indicates the total revenue generated from ticket sales.

To find:

The appropriate table of values from the provided options.

Solution:

It's clear that both the number of tickets and the revenue collected cannot be negative, which means that options A and B are not viable.

We have:

$y=5x$

For $x=0$ ,

$y=5(0)$

$y=0$

For $x=10$ ,

$y=5(10)$

$y=50$

For $x=51$ ,

$y=5(51)$

$y=255$

For $x=400$ ,

$y=5(400)$

$y=2000$

In option C, the ordered pairs (0,0), (10,50), (51,255), (400,2000) are present in the table. Thus, option C is the correct choice.

For $x=65$

$y=5(65)$

$y=325$

As the ordered pair (65,350) does not fulfill the requirements of the equation, thus option D is incorrect.

Consequently, the right option is C.
